15g butter
1 shallot, finely chopped
4 clove/s garlic, thinly sliced
2 red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
200g pack No.1 British Woodland Mushrooms, torn
½ x 200g pack British Baby Chestnut Mushrooms, halved
80g baby spinach
250g Essential Natural Cottage Cheese
2 medium free range eggs
75g wholemeal plain flour
1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
2 tbsp savoury seed & nut topper

Melt the butter in a frying pan, then gently cook the shallot, garlic and chillies for 5 minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook gently for 10 minutes more, until tender and golden.
Meanwhile, place the spinach, 200g cottage cheese, the eggs and flour in a blender. Season. Whizz to make a smooth and fairly thick batter.
Brush a nonstick frying pan with a little oil, add a small ladle of the spinach batter, then spread out until an even round of 16-18cm. Cook over a medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes each side, then slide onto a plate. Repeat to make a total of 6 pancakes.
Stir the remaining cottage cheese and the seed topper into the mushroom mixture and season to taste. Divide the mushroom filling between the pancakes and serve.
